Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Franky Syn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bo Haize (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Syn comes to the cage accompanied by Truth by Alexander. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Bo Haize was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nai Khanom Tom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Purple Aki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aki has chosen Slim Whitman - Indian Love Call as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Nai Khanom Tom has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nai Khanom Tom seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
